Adara Anderson

Publisher info

Adara Anderson has always wanted to be a writer but took quite some time to get around to it. She has a somewhat unhealthy fascination with things that go bump in the night. Not fear. More of an “ooh, I want my own werewolf” kind of thing. Well who wouldn't? It's like having a hot boyfriend AND a really self-reliant dog all rolled into one. She lives in Scotland where there appears to be a complete lack of vampires and werewolves. Bah.

Adara also writes lighter, fluffier paranormal romance under the name Ariana McGregor.

Smashwords Interview

What are you working on next?
I'm working on a spin-off series from The Host. It's about the Old Ones mentioned in The Host books. I'm planning it as a series of stand-alone books and although it's a spin-off it can be read independently. The first book is "Predicting Ares" and that's what's getting most of my attention right now. I'm also planning out the next Host book (Kai's story).

As Ariana, I'm also working on the next Bearbank book which will be Amara's story. I'm really looking forward to being able to put more time into this as I love Amara.

Other than that, I have a few other projects brewing away.
When you're not writing, how do you spend your time?
Life can be incredibly busy and I have a few commitments. As for leisure time, I spent an awful lot of time reading! I love books, which is why I wanted to write some. When I'm not doing that, I like to do creative things and I enjoy art and pottery. When I need to chill, I always like watching TV. I will also admit to completely wasting time playing silly computer games.
